World not delivering on Gaza reconstruction promises, new report warns

Six months since donors pledged $3.5 billion towards Gaza's recovery, many people are worse off and not a single one of the 19,000 destroyed homes has been rebuilt. 100,000 people are still homeless and many are living in makeshift camps or schools.

Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) signed an agreement with Terre des hommes (Tdh) to supply 109 cubic meters of chlorine used for disinfecting water-wells belonging to CMWU and municipalities in different areas of Gaza Strip, to enable 1.7 million people to consume clean disinfected water.

Barely one year after Haiyan, Philippine people had to brave the typhoon Hagupit, classified as a category 2 storm, which struck the centre of the archipelago during the evening of 6th to 7th December, putting the houses recently rebuilt by Terre des hommes (Tdh) to the test. Despite their standing up to the storm, there is severe material and environmental damage, weakening the inhabitants further.
